Do most of you heavy hitters use a drip irrigation system ...or just a
good watering on a regular basis....and is your fertilizer a constant
feed ...with the drip system...?...I had to mist my leaves this year due
to extreme heat and drought this year.....which resullted in a
mold....or mildew ...any tips...how to prevent this from happening..
And I also ended up with a green fungus from watering ...on spots in the
soil....Does turning this under kill it ...or should I be treating it
with something....
Thanks

Deb,
With the green growth on the soil and problems with the leaves, you may
have watered too much. I would put the mist on a time clock to allow for an
interval where the foliage has a chance to dry out. The green algae is no big
deal and need not be treated. Till it in.
